Cases of “relatives on film – falling in love in real life” happen more often than the audience imagines, when even the Hollywood market has no shortage of them. There was once a famous couple who developed feelings for each other even though, on screen, the two of them played the roles of mother and son.

In 2004, Angelina Jolie was chosen to play the female lead of the movie Alexander, playing Queen Olympias. This character is the mother of the male lead Alexander, played by actor Colin Farrell.

Only when things didn’t work out with Farrell did Jolie truly devote herself to the movie star Troy.
